LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The Lintronics Advanced MemoryMoog (LAMM) is not just another MIDI upgrade for the Moog Memorymoog synthesizer, but rather a completely new further development of the legendary Memorymoog.
These advancements do, of course, include a comprehensive MIDI upgrade, but also encompass numerous
deep changes in the Memorymoog's soft- and hardware.
Our intensive study of the Memorymoog began in the middle of 1989. The Memorymoog's operating system
was completely rewritten, and the hardware so thoroughly upgraded and "tweaked" that the LAMM has been fully freed of the glitches and problems that have plagued Memorymoog users on stage and in the studio.
Although the Memorymoog has been out of production since 1984, our upgrade is by no means antiquated
or obsolete. For one, we are able to obtain most of the original replacement parts for the Memorymoog, and
we have replaced the central processing unit of the Memorymoog with a more advanced CPU, which more
than doubles the Memorymoog's performance. We have, however, resisted the temptation to attempt to
"improve" the Memorymoog's synthesis in any fashion.
The purpose of the development of LAMM was not to simply endow the Memorymoog with MIDI and correct design errors, but rather to design a more clearly arranged and accessible user interface for the Memorymoog. With some pride we would say that not only does the LAMM possess many features not found in any
other machine on the market, but also has a user interface that is so clear that an experienced user quickly
finds the manual to be superfluous.
We of course often receive suggestions from users or discover new facts about the Memorymoog, and so
will continually send out updates to the LAMM.
Users of MAC or WINDOWS computers should take note that Michael Heydn from EMAGIC has developed the SOUND DIVER Editor/Bankloader, which allows users to take full advantage of the Lintronics
Advanced Memorymoog.

LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
If you hate reading manuals, please read at least this page! This is a condensed primer on how to...
...set the MIDI channels
Transmit channel:
Receive channel:
Omni off:
press "C"-"5"-ENTER, type in the transmit channel, ENTER.
press "C"-"6"-ENTER, type in the receive channel, ENTER.
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"7"-ENTER-"0"-ENTER.
...control the Moog's pitch and modulation wheels via MIDI *)
Enable reception:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER.
Assignment:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"9"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER, grab the pot
named "Modulation Amount" and move it until a value of +1 is
displayed, confirm with ENTER.
...use a velocity sensitive keyboard to control the Memorymoog *)
Assignment:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"9"-ENTER-"2"-ENTER, move the pot
to be affected by velocity until a value other than "OFF" is
displayed, confirm with ENTER.
...use a pressure sensitive keyboard to control the Memorymoog *)
Enable reception:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER-"5"-ENTER.
Assignment:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"9"-ENTER-"3"-ENTER, move the pot
to be affected by Aftertouch until a value other than "OFF" is
displayed, confirm with ENTER.
...change sounds via MIDI program change messages
Enable reception:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"4"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER.
...transmit and receive sound dumps via MIDI, system exclusive
Enable SysEx:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"8"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER.
Dump one sound:
press "C"-"7"-ENTER.
Dump all sounds:
press "C"-"8"-ENTER.
...transmit and receive all editing activity (pots, buttons and switches) via MIDI
Enable pot control:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"2"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER.
Enable switching:
press "C"-"9"-ENTER-"3"-ENTER-"1"-ENTER.
Application:
This unique function allows realtime control of every pot
movement or button actuation via MIDI! For example,
you could record and play back all your editing performance
with any MIDI sequencer. Since simple MIDI control
changes are used instead of SysEx, operation is transparent,
quick, reliable and memory-saving.
...synchronize the arpeggiator or the LFO to MIDI clock *)
Gotcha! We suggest that you read the pages B-4 and B-9. (and what about the others?).
*) marked settings are storable per sound.

LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
UPGRADE MANUAL
1. Power on
Previously: sound program number "1" would appear in the display, and the last edited sound would be
overwritten with program number "1" (that means: erased).
Now: the last selected program and the edit buffer are retained after power off and available again after the
power is turned back on.
2. Octave buttons in the wheel panel
Previously: non-programmable
0
-1
Now: programmable on a per sound basis
3. Potentiometer values
Previously: values from 0 to 100 were shown
Now: the resolution has been changed from 0 to 127, which allows finer control of the parameters, and is
consistent with standard MIDI values.
4. HOLD function
(Users who don't possess the original Memorymoog manual should be aware that there are two methods to
hold intervals or chords on the Memorymoog. One either plays a chord and then hits the HOLD button, or
one first presses the HOLD button and then plays the individual notes of the chord. When using the second
method, the notes must be played carefully, as pressing more than one key simultaneously causes the hold
function to toggle off.)
Previously: as explained above, pressing two keys simultaneously in the HOLD function would cause the
hold function to toggle off, although the HOLD LED would remain lit.
Now: the hold procedure is canceled and the HOLD LED is unlit if you press two or more notes simultaneously while depressing the HOLD button. In MONO mode, the hold function is not available any more.
Pressing the HOLD button in MONO mode will cause the display to read "<-- MONO" and the HOLD
LED will remain unlit. Hold is kept, even if you switch to another program, unless you switch to a program
which was stored in MONO mode. Pressing the MONO button will cause the hold function to be canceled.
5. LFO wave forms
Previously: only one LFO wave form was selectable.
Now: it's possible to mix all LFO wave forms.
B-1
LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
1. Keyboard Mode (Poly Mode)
Previously: to change the KB Mode it was necessary to press the KB Mode switch, enter a value from 1 to 4
with the numerical keypad and then verify this entry with the ENTER button. The display showed only
"EDIT", which meant that it was impossible to see which mode was currently active.
Now: pressing the KB Mode switch causes the current KB Mode to be displayed immediately as text. Pressing any numeric button from 0 to 9 causes the Memorymoog to enter the corresponding KB Mode directly
(i.e. without ENTER). Pressing any button other than 0 to 9 causes the LAMM to immediately leave the KB
Mode menu (all edits in KB Mode are of course retained).
The buttons 0 through 9 correspond to the following functions:

2. Keyboard Mode (Mono Mode)
Previously: pressing the KB Mode switch would cause one of the three options "LATEST", "LOW" or
"HIGH" to be displayed. These options corresponded to the key priority in Mono mode, i.e. whether the
last, lowest, or highest key of a chord would sound. These options were selected by pressing either 1, 2 or 3
in the numeric key pad, and confirmed by pressing ENTER. The display would then show "VOICES?"
whereupon one could press a numeric button from 1 to 6 to select the number of active voices, also confirmed by pressing ENTER.
Now: as before, pressing KB Mode causes "LATEST", "HIGH" or "LOW" to be displayed. In addition the
last field in the display also shows the current number of active voices. The user interface has been simplified, as now pressing a button between 1 and 6 now selects the number of active voices, and pressing a button from 7 to 9 selects the note priority (see table below). Numeric button 0 calls the RAM check and shows
the version and serial number.
Pressing one of the numerics now immediately changes the corresponding parameter without a confirmation
via ENTER. Pressing any other button causes the Memorymoog to leave KB Mode. All edited parameters
are retained.
The buttons 0 through 9 correspond to the following functions:

LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
Polyphonic Keyboard Modes
The individual keyboard modes primarily affect the glide effect and panorama (stereo outputs).
CYCLIC
This mode causes each keypress to be assigned to a different voice (the ordering is fixed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1,
2, ...)
MEM-CYC
When you repeat the same notes (up to 6) over and over again, you should always hear the same voices.
RESET
This mode works in principle in the same fashion as the CYCLIC mode. The difference: playing single keys
always causes voice 1 to be played. This characteristic allows monophonic type playing in poly mode. This
effect is particularly useful in combination with the arpeggiator and the stereo outputs.
MEM-RES
The effect is almost like that of MEM-CYC, with the difference that voice 1 sounds if you play only one
note.
POT-LOCK
This function is not stored per sound, but remains in effect if the Memorymoog is turned off and then later
turned on again. The idea is to prevent an accidental "editing" of the Memorymoog's parameters during live
work. In addition, activating POT-LOCK causes the Memorymoog's CPU to stop cyclically "polling" the
pots to see if one has been moved (i.e. a parameter has been edited). This frees the CPU for other activities
(for example, the arpeggiator can be used at higher rates).
POT-ON
This releases the potentiometer locking.
HOLD KEY
Notes from up to six voices are held until other notes are played (max. 10 keys!). If the same note key is
pressed again, no trigger impulse is sent (i.e. the envelope isn't restarted). This function is programmable
and storable per sound. Selecting the HOLD KEY also causes the RELEASE/SUSTAIN footswitch to be set
to RELEASE.
HOLD OFF
Shuts off the previous function, also causes the RELEASE/SUSTAIN footswitch to be set to RELEASE.
POT --> CV
In this mode the pots reacts on the same way as a non-upgraded Memorymoog.
CV --> POT
Moving a pot has no affect when the value of the pot is not the same value of the memory. As long as the values are different the display shows the sign "<>" between the values (for smooth pot movements).
B-3
LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
1. Arpeggiator
Although the arpeggiator may be seen by some to be a "gimmick" or "mere" playing aid, we decided to further develop the Memorymoog's arpeggiator so that a musician can use it in a true musical setting. Pressing
the arpeggiator button allows the selection of ten different functions (numerical buttons 0 through 9):

octave up/ octave down (max. 6 voices)
note repetition (max. 6 voices)
LFO controls the arpeggiator
MIDI clock controls the arpeggiator, the divider is
selectable in the SPECIALS page.
Previously: the arpeggiator function was entered by pressing the arpeggiator button, selecting the type of arpeggio with a numeric button from 1 to 9, and confirming this choice with ENTER. Only then was the arpeggio audible, and the display would only show the word "EDIT". Checking or editing one's choice was
then only possible through exiting and then reentering the arpeggio function. Latched or held arpeggios
(HOLD) were also handled by the arpeggio function.
Now: pressing a numeric button from 0 to 9 after pressing the arpeggio button causes the arpeggio to become immediately audible. Arpeggios of all types can be latched or held via the HOLD KEY function (see
page B-3). In split mode (choices 4 through 6), one can play the lower two octaves of the keyboard (up to five voices) normally, while the upper three octaves are reserved for arpeggios. In split mode, the HOLD KEY
only functions to latch the arpeggio in the upper three octaves. Held keys (see page B-1.4) can also be held
in the arpeggiator.
Note: Please be aware of the distinction between the HOLD KEY function and the HOLD function! All arpeggios are also retained when the Memorymoog is turned off.
2. Program Sequencer
The program sequencer allows the user to create a customized series of program numbers. The program sequencer is entered by pressing the "D" button. If no editing is done, then this function may be exited by pressing ENTER (the display then shows "CD-BREAK").
Previously: calling up the program sequencer when it was empty (i.e. all presets erased) would cause the
Memorymoog to "crash", i.e. to become fully inoperable. The only recourse was to turn off the Memorymoog and turn it back on.
Now: Entering the program sequencer while it s empty simply results in the Memorymoog displaying
"CLEARED". The program sequencer is now exited by pressing the "D" button a second time, upon which
the Memorymoog displays "PSEQ OFF".
CLK LFO
The Moog's internal LFO Clock is the source for the arpeggio speed.
CLK MIDI
Incoming MIDI clock messages control the arpeggio speed (the arpeggio LED will blink until a MIDI start
message is recognized).

This has only been changed by the addition of a confirmation of a code change by the display "STORED".
TRCH xx
The MIDI output channel is displayed as a number between 1 and 16. Pressing ENTER replaces the number
being displayed by "**". The desired MIDI output channel can then be selected via the numeric buttons.
"Typos" can be simply overwritten by typing in a different number. The change takes effect only after the
ENTER button is pressed.
RVCH xx
This is fully analogous to the TRCH function, with the difference that the MIDI receive channel is modified.
DMP EDIT
The currently edited (edit buffer) sound is transmitted via MIDI system exclusive after the ENTER button is
pressed.
DUMP ALL
All sounds including the edit buffer are sent via system exclusive through the MIDI out port. The display
shows "ACTIVE" for approximately four seconds, and the Memorymoog audio output is muted during the
transfer.

The items in the SPECIALS menu are intended to increase the expressiveness of the Memorymoog. External
MIDI controllers can be freely assigned to potentiometers, and then used to control the values of these pots.
Keying a numerical value and pressing ENTER brings the user to the desired function. Edits can be stored
per program. Exiting this mode is accomplished by either selecting another edit function on the Memorymoog, or pressing the "C" button followed by the ENTER button (the display will show "CD-BREAK").
MODWHEEL
The display shows from left to right: "M" (for mod. wheel), the stored pot number (32 to 62), and the
amount of control (-7 to +7). To assign the mod. wheel to a pot, just move this pot and choose the amount.
The display readout will follow your tweaking. With amount values from +1 to +7, incoming mod. wheel
messages will add to the preprogrammed pot position. With amount values from -1 to -7, incoming modwheel messages will be subtracted from the preprogrammed pot position. If the amount is set to OFF=0, incoming MIDI control change #1 messages will be ignored totally.
Note: If you want the modulation wheel of an external synth to work solely as a remote control of the
MOOG's wheel, assign the modulation wheel to the "Modulation Amount" pot or to an unused pot (e.g.
"Footpedal 2 Amount") with a value of -1 or +1.
VELOCITY
Same as MODWHEEL, but velocity is used to control the pots and the display shows "V" instead of "M".
PRESSURE
Same as MODWHEEL, but channel pressure is used to control the pots and the display shows "P" instead of
"M".
LAST VEL
The last received velocity value determines the overall velocity, even for several keys or for keys that have
already been held.
MAX VEL
If several keys are played simultaneously, the highest of their velocity values is valid for all of them.

LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
REL-FSWT
A footswitch plugged into the footswitch jack in the rear of the Moog or an incoming MIDI controller #64
message will affect RELEASE.
SUS-FSWT
A footswitch or an incoming controller #64 message will affect the HOLD KEY function but with no canceling of old notes when playing new ones. As long as the footswitch is held down, a maximum of 10 notes
can be played from which always the last 6 notes will sound.
Note: The on/off condition of the sustain pedal is stored with each sound. If you store a sound with the sustain pedal being pressed, this sound will have immediate sustain whenever you recall it - even if you don't
touch the pedal.
LFO FREE
The LFO is not synchronized by MIDI clock.
LFO SYNC
Incoming MIDI clock messages synchronize the LFO. The speed rate is dependent on the divider.
DIVID xx
The time base of the incoming MIDI Clock can be divided by 1 to 16 to slow down the arpeggio. Just dial
the value and press ENTER. (A setting of 1 will produce the highest, a setting of 16 the lowest possible
LFO (or arpeggio) speed relating to MIDI Clock speed.)

System Controller Service ("C" - "0" - Enter)
The Memorymoog is, as are all high quality musical instruments, susceptible to environment changes such
as humidity, temperature, dust or dirt. Thus like any sensitive musical instrument, the Memorymoog should
be periodically adjusted and checked out by a qualified technician. To make servicing easier, a couple of
new functions were implemented in the Advanced Memorymoog. As these functions are intended for technicians only, they are listed below but not explained in detail.

CHART 1 (SWITCH REMOTE)
The Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog allows MIDI control of all its switches via MIDI controller numbers #30 and #31. Controller #30 is always used to set a switch to its ON position, controller #31 sets a
switch to OFF. Attention: The controller value (!) determines which switch is affected. For example, if you
want to turn GLIDE on, send a MIDI controller #30 message with a value of 27 to the Moog: Bn 1E 1B (n =
MIDI channel).

Note: There must be an interval of at least 20ms between two switch remote messages. To edit sounds via
MIDI it is sometimes more convenient to use system exclusive messages. One system exclusive sound dump
takes about 192ms, that makes 5 dumps per second. If you want to edit a system exclusive dump, please refer to chart #2.

LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
HARDWARE
1.1 Stereo Outputs
There is an expansion slot for the original Moog MIDI interface on the rear panel. The Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog system uses this slot for the MIDI in jack, the MIDI out jack, two output jacks and one
input jack. You can plug a high impedance stereo headphone into the stereo output. The second port is used
to split the stereo signal of the stereo output into two mono outputs. The volume of the stereo output can be
controlled with the programmable volume pot. It is also possible to store the volume per program.
Panorama is fixed to the following values:
Voice 1
Output A
60 %
Output B
40 %
Voice 2

Voice 3

Voice 4

1.2 MIDI connectors IN/OUT
The MIDI in port receives data from an external MIDI device which is to control the Lintronics Advanced
Memorymoog. The MIDI out jack transmits data corresponding to all Memorymoog operations (for example playing on the keyboard or editing any program).
1.3 Power supply
During the upgrade procedure, the power supply is checked for cold soldered joints. This increases its reliability and road-worthiness.
1.4 Voice Cards
All six voice cards are removed, tested, repaired if necessary and modified for the new Lintronics autotune
algorithm. This algorithm makes the autotune procedure more precise and guarantees long-time stability of
the oscillators.
1.5 Demux Board
The Demux Board is removed, tested for cold soldered joints, repaired if necessary and modified for pitch
bend, modulation wheel, foot pedal 1 and the octave switch.
1.6 Common Analog Board
This board is also removed, tested for cold soldered joints etc., repaired if necessary and prepared for pitch
bend, modulation wheel, transpose, foot pedal 1, stereo outputs and the octave switch. Lintronics also modifies the octave switch function to increase the sound quality, especially when playing sounds with extremely high filter emphasis setting.
1.7 Octave Board
The octave board is modified to store the octave setting with each program.

LINTRONICS ADVANCED MEMORYMOOG MANUAL
HARDWARE
2.1 Digital Board
The digital board is removed and modified. (Since the reset circuit of the original Memorymoog was not
very reliable, it crashed and lost its sounds often when problems occurred in the power supply.)
2.2 Filter Input
External audio signals can be fed through the Moog's VCF and VCA circuitry (including envelopes and
LFO) with an optional filter input board which is located on the Memorymoog's expansion slot (1/4" standard phone jack, mono).
Note: The best signal-to-noise ratio can be achieved at a signal input level of +6dB.
2.3 CV-OUT jack modification
The normal Memorymoog transmits only keyboard and glide voltages through the CV-OUT jack. With the
optional CV-OUT modification, the Advanced Memorymoog adds pitch bend, octave, tune and modulation
voltages.
(This is particularly useful when driving a Minimoog from the CV-OUT. The Minimoog's 3rd oscillator
must no longer be reserved for modulation and can be used as a sound source.)
2.4 Control Panel
All pots and the two front panel boards are removed, the pots are tested, cleaned and, if necessary, replaced.
Missing knobs and switches are replaced with original Moog spare parts.
